The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Safety has announced two Las Vegas
offices will be closing earlier than usual this week.

The DMV offices at 8250 West Flamingo Rd. and 2701 East Sahara Ave. will close at 5:30
p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m. today through Friday September 17th. Both offices
will open at their normal hour of 7 a.m. each day, and will also offer their normal
Saturday hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The early closures are necessary due to continuing difficulties with the DMV's new
Project Genesis computer system. Project Genesis is continuing to find and correct flaws
in the system on a daily basis.

In the meantime, Nevada motorists are being asked to avoid DMV office visits if at all
possible through the month of September. Motorists who face an immediate deadline such as
registration expiration must get these transactions completed. Anyone who is not against
such a deadline should postpone their transactions or look into alternatives. Some
alternatives are outlined below:
